Danny Mendick Joins The Mets
The New York Mets and free-agent infielder Danny Mendick agreed to a one-year, $1 million deal on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the deal. The 29-year-old was non-tendered by the Chicago White Sox after he hit a strong .289/.343/.443 in 106 plate appearances and 31 games for them in 2022. The Mets will get four years of control with Mendick, who underwent surgery on his right knee in June to fix a torn ACL. The 29-year-old may not be ready for the start of the 2023 season, but he'll provide the Mets with a strong utility infield bat once he's ready to return. In his four major-league seasons (all with the White Sox), Mendick has hit .251/.309/.366 with a .675 OPS, 10 home runs, 45 RBI, 53 runs scored and a stolen base in 151 games played.
